A CHARGE BROUGHT AGAINST CAPT. PHILLIPS BY JoI


capt. Wm F. Phillips, Of the schooner Annie NJ
Hayward, was Monday released in s., 500 bail by
United States Commissioner Rogers In Baltimore,
Tor the action OF the United States grand jury, on
the charge OF aSsaulting a seaman named Joe
Smith, aged about twenty-one years, while the
schooner was lying in or near Honga River. Smith
claims that the captain beat him with sounding
pole; that he kicked him and otherwise maltreated
him, and then put him ashore at CrapO Dorches-
ter County, without cent OF pay. A collec-
ton was taken up for him at Grape. and he cane

Commissioner Rogers, who committed him to iail

told how they escaped.
Capt. Phillips acknowledges that the BOYS

Pasteuf's Cure I'm Russia.

From the London Daily News.
The director OF the odessa meteorological sta
ton has favored me with the following notes OF
the last twelve months operations for the preven-
ton OF hydrophobia under the Pasteurian system.
Five hundred and twenty-one patients, some Of
whom came from Turkey, were inoculated, and
thirteen died.
The director divides the patients into three
groups the better to explain the proportion of
1atal cases to the total number OF patients dis
missed as cured In fifty-twO cases the existence
OF rabies In the animal by which the patients
were bitten was proved by trepanning. OF these
patents one died. In twelve cases the rabid con-
dltion OF the animal was proved by the deaths of
persons bitten by the same animals, but who were
not brought TO the station or these one also died.
Inere were 255 cases In which the patients all
bitten by presumably rabid animals had mani
tested signs OF hydrophobia. or these seven died.
sixteen persons were fnOculated as q preventive
measure, never having been bitten by animals,
Tabid or healthy. DR.. Gamaloa, the director OF
the ODESSA station and an enthusiastic disciple OF
NJ. PaSteur, has been inOculated three times, once
In Paris and twice in Odessa not for rabid bites,
0ut, as he says, simply to give confidence to
others.

Railroad Tickets.

HAS A PASSENGER A RIGHT TO REFUSE TO GIVE ONr
UP7
decision has been given by the railroad CON-
missioners OF Massachusetts in the matter OF COM
plant OF Eugene II. Clapp agt. the Boston and
Albany Railroad. The board reports that the CON-
plainant In this case bought ticket for Boston in
Rochester, N. Y. Shortly after leaving Albany the
conductor on the Boston and Albany took up this
ticket and offered an exchange check In its place
This the complainant refused TO take, and de-
manded MS ticket back again. The decision says
that 1t appeared that 1t is rule OF the Boston md
Albany Railroad that all tickets issued by other
corporations, whether limited or unlimited shall
be taken up by It's conductors when the passenger
arrives on It's road, and that exchange checks

shown that unless some such method was
adopted the company would have no evidence
that II had carried the passenger at ali
on the other hand there seems to be good ground
for the position taken by the complainant In this
case. that having received an agreement from a
railroad corporation for transportation TO given
point, ne Is not bound TO give that agreement and
accept substitute therefor unless 1t is SO provided
In the original contract. The board simply recon-
mends that whenever for good reason 1t is desirable
that ticket should at any point on the route be
exchanged for another passage ticket or check.
special provision therefor should be made on the
ticket originally issued.

morning, as the o'clock passenger train from
New York, on the Amboy division Of the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad, came dashing along within half a
mile OF Hightstown, Engineer White blew the ac-
customed Embarrassing signal and to his utter
amazement the whistle refused to cease blowing,
but continued louder and louder as the train sped
through the town. Citizens in the vicinity were
alarmed. and fearing something terrible had hap
pened rushed for the Pennsylvania depot, while
the passengers OF the train ran out on the car
platform believing terrible catastrophe was just
ahead
The train was stopped at the depot amid large
crowd, but still the shriektng whistle kept up its
deafening yell Engineer White was soon out on
the foOt-board, and 0ravely tackled the roaring
whistle, but falling in this he hurried back into
the cab and resumed the efforts, but soon fell
down unconscious, and was carried to the depot,
when the company's physician, DR.. Rowe, gave
the aged engineer temporary relief, and placed
him In one OF the passenger coaches. Meantime
the screamer kept up its h1deOus noise at top
notch until the timely arrival Of Engineer j. West
stopped the iron monsters mouth. Mr.. West also
took Whites place at the lever, and ran the train
to Camden.
